Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1161
Wu Shun quietly stationed in the Mediterranean Sea with his warship. As the emperor of Rome, it's no wonder that Diocletian was in a good mood.

At this time, he even had some doubts about the Central Plains' intention to help Persia.

In the anxious situation of the war, Dongfangqiang abandoned the Persians and turned to help them in Rome, and used artillery to assist them in killing the Persians.

Judging from the ending, the Persians were defeated and fled, and Rome won the final victory. Diocletian could still accept this result.

However, in the early days of the war, Roman soldiers also suffered a large number of casualties due to the Puyuan cannon. Judging from the final remaining forces of Persia and Rome, they lost both sides in the fight.

Even Diocletian dared not refuse when Dongfang insisted on returning home from the Mediterranean!
He was terrified. After finally beating the Persians away, the Roman soldiers were still in a state of extreme excitement. If Dongfang Qiang was rejected, once they fought with the Central Plains army, the current situation of the Roman army had no chance of winning.

Unhappy in his heart but unable to express it, Diocletian set up this banquet aggrievedly.

"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty first. The Supreme Emperor arrived in Rome with great sincerity. A long time ago, the Supreme Emperor talked about opening up a maritime trade route from the South China Sea to Rome, connecting the East and the West."

Naturally, Diocletian's expression couldn't be hidden from Dongfang Qiang. He was attending a banquet right now, so Dongfang Qiang naturally wanted to talk nicely.

"With sincerity? Why did my soldiers tell me that the Central Plains Navy entered the Mediterranean Sea all the way?" Diocletian couldn't help asking.

Dongfang Qiang said that Wu Shun was sincere, and if using shells to open the way was considered sincerity, then the Central Plains Fleet was really sincere.

Dongfang Qiang's explanation was too far-fetched, and Diocletian was a little angry.

"Your Majesty, from the Central Plains to Rome, not to mention the vast sea, pirates are even more prevalent. Presumably, I am worried about the safety of the Supreme Emperor to His Majesty the Emperor, so I sent warships to accompany the escort." Dongfang Qiang explained.

There is some truth in what he said.

What is Wu Shun's identity, how could he go out without a guard?Since they are going by sea, they will naturally be escorted by warships.

Dongfang Qiang said that, and Diocletian had no reason to continue to refute. If he traveled to the Central Plains, he would definitely bring the most powerful Roman naval warship with him, and promote the prosperity of the Roman Empire along the way.

"The Persians have been routed, and the Persian cavalry who invaded Rome are being besieged. It won't be long before the Eastern General can see your emperor." Diocletian said.

"I don't know if His Majesty needs our help. Even though the Suzaku Legion lacks the strength to fight against the cavalry, this general is still willing to provide His Majesty with some help within his ability."

Dongfang Qiang said.

Only when the Persians are completely driven away, Diocletian will return to the army, and their Suzaku army can join Wu Shun as soon as possible.

"It would be great if your army could help me. I would like to express my gratitude to General Dongfang for his generosity!" Diocletian said.

Diocletian hadn't seen the combat power of the Central Plains army yet, so he hoped to judge how powerful the Central Plains army's long-range legion was from the process of Dongfang Qiang's sweep of the Persian cavalry.

Received an affirmative answer, and Dongfang Qiang quickly carried out what he said, and sent troops deep into the Roman border to drive out the Persian cavalry.

Zhang Liao personally led the team, and soon wiped out the Persians who were causing trouble on the Roman border!In the end, there were only two thousand Persian cavalry left and fled in a panic.

The Central Plains army won a complete victory, and Diocletian also saw the execution ability and strong combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army.Especially Zhang Liao, a brave and resourceful general, he admired very much.

It can be said that the Persian cavalry has strong mobility, but under Zhang Liao's various arrangements, the Persian cavalry is often caught and killed by the Suzaku infantry.

The battles of encirclement and annihilation made the Persian cavalry terrified... they had to flee in all directions.

Ten days after the defeat of the Persian army, Diocletian led his troops back to the Roman capital to the cheers of the Roman populace.

Dongfangqiang naturally led the Suzaku Legion to follow the Roman army, and their goal was the inner sea of ​​Rome-the Mediterranean Sea.

In order to ensure safety, the Suzaku Legion was strictly monitored, and every move was carried out under the eyes of the Romans.

In order to return to the navy earlier, Dongfang Qiang didn't say anything.

However, the Romans saw that the Central Plains army was easy to talk, and they had no defense against them. At the same time, they were very jealous of the Central Plains' big killer, the Puyuan Cannon.

It was the first time that the artillery was stolen. For the sake of the overall situation, Dongfang Qiang remained silent.

However, the inaction of the Central Plains army fueled the arrogance of the Roman general, who actually stole again and again.

He was even caught on the spot again, and forced his men to drag a gun barrel away!
This kind of thing, Dongfang Qiang wanted to ignore it, because it was stolen, and the artillery of the Central Plains army clashed with the Roman soldiers.

Things got serious, and as a monarch, Diocletian naturally had to show his attitude.

He severely punished the general who made trouble, and ordered the return of the Puyuan Pao to the Suzaku Legion.But who is willing to take out what has already been eaten?
The general delayed and delayed the return of the cannon. He had almost reached Constantinople, the capital of Rome, but the Suzaku Legion still hadn't got the cannon back.

For this reason, Dongfang Qiang personally negotiated with Diocletian, demanding that Rome immediately return the artillery, because it was about to reach the place, and if there were not many artillery pieces, they would be put into storage by the Romans.

Diocletian was also envious of the artillery of the Suzaku Legion, and he said to retreat, but he didn't move at all.

Because of the proximity to the capital, Diocletian was somewhat complacent, and he was not afraid of the Suzaku Legion causing trouble at all.It is also concluded that Dongfang Qiang dare not be tough.

However, Rome miscalculated the form from top to bottom!

Especially Diocletian, who defeated the Persians, now regarded himself as a Roman hero, and no longer had such awe of the Suzaku Legion.

Because in Rome, he, Diocletian, was the one standing on the top.

Patience has a limit, Dongfang Qiang blindly let the soldiers be patient.This is actually purposeful. He did this to make the soldiers burst out when they endured to a certain extent.

Diocletian's pride and Dongfang Qiang's deliberate actions, the conflict between the Suzaku Legion in the Central Plains and the Roman sergeants eventually led to bloodshed!

A battalion of artillery broke into the Roman camp and beat up the Romans who were involved in stealing the cannon.

He was beaten during the triumphant return. As soon as the Roman soldiers got angry, they took up their weapons and rushed out.The soldiers of the Suzaku Legion were unable to dodge in time, and many of them were chopped and wounded.

A fight eventually turned into a fierce fight, and when the fight really broke out, Rome suffered a disadvantage, because Gao Shun drove out the chariot.
